Join a vibrant intellectual community
The Stone Center for Inequality Dynamics brings together U-M faculty, staff, postdocs, and students interested in the study of inequality. There are several ways to stay connected, participate in the Stone Center’s intellectual community, and contribute to the life of the center.
U-M faculty, staff, postdocs, and students who would like to be more involved are warmly invited to join the Stone Center as affiliates or associates.
